“As National Co-Lead of the Embrace Business Resource Group, I am constantly striving to foster an environment of respect, equity, self-worth and inclusion. This environment allows LGBTQ+ colleagues and allies to do their best work while allowing them to be their authentic selves. Diversity, Equity and Inclusion programs like these help develop employees from the inside out, creating a comfortable, supportive, and inspirational atmosphere where individuals of different backgrounds, ethnicities, genders and sexual orientations can flourish.”

“– To me, Diversity & inclusion is all about respect. It is about creating a workplace where we embrace and respect diversity and provide the conditions to help our employees and customers prosper and thrive. Studies show that by creating a diverse culture, companies have more satisfied employees and those employees are able to provide better solutions for their customers. I believe that Conexión plays acritical role in our diversity and inclusion initiative by helping create equity for our Latinx / Hispanic employees and customers and providing a space where everyone can learn more about the Latinx and Hispanic culture and how to help the diverse customers and communities that we serve. ”

“I started getting involved with our Women's Network when it first launched a couple of years ago because I have been so fortunate to have many amazing and inspirational mentors in my career. I wanted to pay it forward and help others.”

“As one of the newer Business Resource Groups, the Veterans Network is unique in that our members link into one or more BRGs. Veterans come in all races, genders, sexual orientation and abilities; this gives the members of the Veterans resource group intersectionality for an even larger network of peers to connect with. I feel this strengthens not only the BRGs but also how we interact with our colleagues across the organization and bolster Santander’s diversity and inclusion efforts.”
